you talked about senator john mccain and he and lindsey graham were concerned that this limited strikes wouldn't go far enough. i was talking to some house democrats as they went into a classified briefing on the hill just a few minutes ago and one of them was saying in order to nail down his vote and something he was hearing from other members of his caucus is the president would have to make the case that this strike would in fact be limited and stay limited. what he said to me was iraq colors everything. so all of these members here are worried about what kind of decision they're making in casting a yes vote to support this strike. >> to the left side of the screen right now we're monitoring what is a stakeout camera where members of camera will be coming out after being briefed by the administration. how many members have shown up? >> reporter: we were somewhat surprised. i was talking to some aides who expected a light turnout. we saw 60, 70 possibly more members. we should get a more concrete count at some point down the line. only 30 rsvps originally but considering where action

are people like lindsey graham suggesting we dive headlong into that? >> you heard lindsey graham say that as well as john mccain, saying we should arm the rebels. the problem as you laid out there and as "the new york times" laid out over the weekend is the lerebels aren't natural allies of the united states. they have al qaeda links. so to arm the opposition is in many ways to arm the opposition against the u.s. so it doesn't look like that would happen. i think one of the things that is interesting about this is that we are seeing the sort of post-iraq reaction to the middle east. even someone who is as hawkish as a john mccain or lindsey grah graham, they are certainly not advocating any boots on the ground. what it looks like that we're in for is this long sort of evaluation of whether or not there actually were chemical weapons used then the white house will have to decide what they want to do. they want to figure out what russia, what china, would do. so far russia and china have been pretty much road blocks of getting anything done there. >> sur
